Inequities in cancer surgical research capacity in the global south and strategies to address them

Shilpa S Murthy et al. J Surg Oncol. 2023 Nov.

Abstract

Globally, cancer is a leading cause of premature mortality and incidence is rising rapidly. To mitigate the cancer burden establishing research programs that are country and/or region specific will inform evidence-based cancer control policies and programs. However inequities in surgical cancer research in the global south exist and in this article we discuss gaps and potential solutions through frameworks focusing on research training, building infrastructure, economic strategies, and research ethics.
